@Jeyyderh @panework Next week is a new start for us. We're expecting a lot more deals to flow then.

[ryan @ryanwd30]

@StartupArchive_ so basically use the largest growth function to service your subsets initially. growth function doesn't change over time.

@tinaa_in_web3 @panework hey Tinaa, lmk what's wrong

[ryan @ryanwd30]

2,500+ KOLs joined Pane in under a week. organic. zero spend.

the market has spoken, this problem is real and nobody was solving it.

to every KOL who signed up: businesses are coming. keep an eye on your email.

we're just getting started.

[ryan @ryanwd30]

Goals for Pane:

Onboard 10K+ active KOL users
Onboard 100+ active businesses & token projects

[ryan @ryanwd30]

soft-launch was pretty good

would love to see how many active users we can get by eow

businesses will be flowing in soon

better ux and business onboarding ramps will be key

look out for new updates later this week

"why are you building pane?"

over the last few years, i've talked to hundreds of businesses and projects in crypto who all share the same story: they found a KOL or marketer, made a verbal deal, sent payment, and got nothing in return. no delivery. ghosted.

i've experienced this myself. it's not a rare thing. it's the norm.

why not "just use fiverr or upwork?" they weren't built for crypto and they have zero guardrails for it. these platforms work great for traditional freelancing, just not for crypto.

one thing's for certain: marketing talent in crypto will always be here. through bear markets, bull markets, every meta, every narrative rotation. someone is always hiring a KOL, someone is always doing a campaign. it's one of the only constants in this space.

so we built Pane. to find talent in crypto without the risks. real KOLs, real track records, and every deal goes through verifiable escrow. talent gets paid when they deliver. businesses don't get scammed. simple.

but more importantly, we see a much bigger picture here.

crypto has a multi-trillion market cap and no real infrastructure for how businesses and talent actually work together. no reputation layer. no payment protection. no accountability. just verbal deals, and trust. in an industry built on trustlessness.

that's a massive gap, and we think the team that fills it properly will win big.

we might be wrong. this might not work out. but it's a bet we're happy to make because we've seen the problem up close, hundreds of times, and we know it's real.
